Patent EP-0611791-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MOELLER BERND DIPL-ING
IPC: C08J7/12
Filed: 1994-02-07
Abstract: In a process for treating the surface of articles with a fluorine-containing gas in a reaction chamber, the articles are first treated in the reaction chamber with a low fluorine concentration which excludes damaging heating of the articles to be treated, and subsequently, after a first conditioning of the surface of the articles, the treatment is continued by increasing the fluorine concentration. This enables rapid fluorination without the risk of overheating of the articles.

Abstract: The method of operating a domestic electric oven equipped with a circulating fan (M), fan-controlled heating element (R3) and upper (R1) and lower (R2) oven heating elements uses two modes of energisation. On closing (S1) the first mode promotes rapid heat-up of the oven via the closed thermostat (B) contact, change-over switch (S2), fan (M) and its element (R3) indicated by the lamps (H1,E). After a preset time, the electronic controller automatically triggers the second mode via the switch (S2) during which the fan (M) runs with its heater (R3) switched off and the heaters (R1,R2) switched on throughout a second preset time. The cycle is repeated subject always to the thermostat (B) setting and required overall cooking duration.

Abstract: A noise shielding apparatus for the magnetron of a microwave oven for preventing the lowering of the voltage resistance of the capacitor due to the poor concentricity and the poor interfacial state is disclosed. A shielding case (201) has a side wall with an elliptic opening (211) and a projected portion (210) along the elliptic opening (211) by bending out a circumference portion thereof. The capacitor (230) includes an elliptic cylindrical ceramic dielectric (232), separate electrodes (236) separately formed on an upper surface of the ceramic dielectric (232) and a common electrode (238) formed on a lower surface of the ceramic dielectric (232). Through conductors (246) pass through the through holes (234) and are connected to a choke coil of the magnetron. Each of through conductors (246) is provided with an electrode connection portion (250) for electrically connecting with the separate electrodes (236) integrally and horizontally formed from around an upper portion of each of through conductors (246). An insulation lattice (261) is formed at a central upper portion of the insulation case (254) over a border line of the separate electrodes (236). Forming the electrode connection portion (250) prevents the poor perpendicularity and/or poor interfacial state. Providing the insulation lattice (261) solves simply and stably the insulation problem between fastening tabs and thus the magnetron may be stably operated.

Abstract: In the data-reducing encoding/decoding of digital image signals, in many cases a movement-compensated interpolation of pixel values is used as a basis. To determine the movement vectors for pixel blocks, a comparison is carried out for each pixel block from the current image within a search region which consists of an enlarged pixel block. By means of MSE (mean square error) or MAE (mean absolute error), within the search region, the block with the highest correlation is determined and the respective movement vector is determined from its spatial position in comparison with the block from the current image. This process is extremely computationally intensive and requires very high clock rates. Even in the case of hierarchical search processes, complex and fast hardware is still necessary. According to the invention, the movement estimation is carried out by evaluating only specific bits, for example the MSB (most significant bit) or both the MSBs, of the pixel values. For this purpose, these bits are logically linked by means of EXOR and/or EXNOR functions and the individual results for the various block positions of the current block within the search window are in each case combined. By means of a subsequent minimum or maximum comparison, the respective vector for the current block is then determined. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The preparation of a zinc mercaptoacid ester by the reaction of zinc oxide with the mercaptoacid ester in a wax matrix provides an improved heat stabilizer for halogen-containing polymer compositions. The process obviates the necessity of isolating and transporting the normally very viscous zinc mercaptoacid esters. The zinc mercaptoacid ester/wax matrix is also an expedient medium for the preparation and utilization of calcium stearate as a lubricant in the heat stabilizer composition and the stabilized polymer composition containing it. A paraffin wax is the preferred matrix for the preparation and use of the heat stabilizer and lubricant.

Abstract: Parameters of hydrocarbon-bearing well fluid sample are measured while the sample is still in place in a well (10) and at downhole pressure and temperature conditions, by lowering a tool (18) into the well (10) to a downhole location. A well fluid sample is trapped in the tool (18) at the downhole location. While the tool (18) remains within the well, the volume of the well fluid sample is expanded while repeatedly measuring the pressure of the trapped well fluid sample at different volumes and thereby generating pressure versus volume data for the trapped well fluid sample. From this data, various parameters such as bubble-point pressure and compressibility of the sample can be readily obtained. After each sample is tested, it is expelled from the tool so that another sample can be taken. The data can be stored for subsequent analysis at the surface or it can be transmitted to the surface for real time analysis.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device, which is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to use, for warding off an attack by, instance, temporarily arresting an attacker or fending off a flying object and, if necessary, also emitting distress signals or discharging a liquid to facilitate subsequent police enquiries. The invention calls for a stable, wide-meshed net (36), optionally impregnated with irritants or odiferous agents, to be deployed by means of a handy gas-pressure-operated device (12). The net (36) is stowed folded up in a dispenser (11) from where it is pulled out and spread out by weights (40) which are ejected on divergent trajectories from the dispenser by the combustion gases produced by an alarm pistol or by the gas from a pierced gas cartridge (13). The device (12) is designed in the shape of a slim cylinder and is armed by rotating the trigger (28) and fired by sliding the trigger (28) in the longitudinal direction, the trigger (28) acting on a previously hand-tensioned spring (19) designed to drive a pin into the gas cartridge. The device (12) can also be fitted inside another item of equipment, e.g. at the rear end of the hollow handgrip (34) of a police baton or heavy-duty flashlight.
